Steve started his banding with Clacton-on-Sea Co-operative Band, where he spent, 11 years, followed by a 8 year spell at Newham Band, and 3 years with GUS. During this time he was also in demand as a dep for many of the UKs top band.

After having taken a break due to family commitments, Steve returned to playing with the Redbridge Band, as well as playing Trumpet for many of London’s leading amateur Orchestras. Steve’s association with Haverhill Silver Band goes back over 30 years, having participated in several projects including foreign tours.

2nd Cornet – Ryan Morley 

Ryan is a product of the Haverhill Youth & Community Band, first joining on Third Cornet at the age of six. Two years later, he joined Hadstock Silver Band, working his way up to the front row, before moving to Royston Town Band, where he spent four enjoyable years as Assistant Principal Cornet.

A short spell at City of Cambridge Brass Band followed in 2012, allowing Ryan to gain valuable playing experience at a higher level of banding. In January 2013, Ryan joined Haverhill Silver Band on Tutti Cornet, before moving to Second Cornet in October 2019.

16 years later, Ryan remains a member of the Youth & Community Band and is now the band’s Soprano Cornet player. Away from Haverhill, you will find Ryan ‘depping’ for a variety of bands across East Anglia; regularly playing for Tendring Brass and Clacton-on-Sea Co-operative Band amongst many!

2nd Cornet – Steve Morley

Steve started playing at the age of 10, under the watchful eye of the late Ted Biggs, the then conductor of Hadstock Silver Band. He managed to progress from the back row through to Principal Cornet and held that position for around 10 years before moving on to Haverhill, playing in every cornet seat apart from Principal and Soprano. Steve is currently enjoying the Principal Third Cornet position and also enjoys helping out many bands in the London and Southern Counties area. He is proud to have two sons involved with the band; Ryan, who is also playing Second Cornet for the Senior Band (and Sop for HYAC) and Joseph, who plays kit for the Youth & Community Band.

Tomos has settled right back into his home band and is looking forward to the future of HSB.
